Hi,
I'm having trouble with the following makefile:
all:
set x=c:\dos;c:\windows
where X is intended to be an environment variable for the command.com shell.
If MAKE_MODE=unix, then I get: c:windows: not found
If MAKE_MODE=null, then I get: Bad command or filename
Change the line to: set x=c:\dos\;c:\windows
If MAKE_MODE=unix, then it works.
If MAKE_MODE=null, then I get: Bad command or filename
There seems to be a problem with the semicolon that makes it require a backslash before it and then it only works with
MAKE_MODE=UNIX.
Same problems occur with set x=c:/dos;c:/windows and set x=c:\\dos;c:\\windows
I am using make 3.75-B19. I am using the new Windows 98 operating system.
